At the beginning of week 3, the fitness instructor will connect the participant with the quitline (i.e., warm transfer). The Tobacco quitlines are now available in every U.S. state via a national quitline portal, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, and have become the major vehicle through which smoking cessation services are delivered in the U.S.73. All participants will receive the standard telephone counseling package of up to 5 proactive calls from the Texas Tobacco Quitline (https://www.quitnow.net/texas/); we will use a 'warm transfer' (i.e., call the quitline in the presence of the smoker and put them on the phone for the intake interview). Call 1 is an assessment and planning call, Call 2 is a pre-quit date call, Call 3 is a quit date call, and Calls 4 and 5 are maintenance calls if the smoker has quit or problem solving calls if they have not quit. Overall, the counseling protocol aims to (1) provide cognitive-behavioral smoking cessation and relapse prevention tools, tailored to the individual smoker's characteristics and; (2) provide medication management and advice regarding nicotine patch use and adherence support, with the goal of completing a full course of medication - in this case, 8 weeks of transdermal nicotine patch use.
